A metaphor for games: when games are being played, and the ball gets tossed to me, I just stand there and let it hit me, and fall to the ground. Then, I don't even look at it, and I just walk off. Whatever somebody else wants to do with that ball is not my concern.

Ellsworth Toohey: Why don't you tell me what you think of me.
>>>>>>>Howard Roark: But I don't think of you.

More aggressive game-players, that can't be avoided, get the "judo" treatment. Their own momentum becomes harmful to themselves.
